17 THACKERAY DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 17 THACKERAY DRIVE sales from October 2012 and October 2017 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the October 2012 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 17 THACKERAY DRIVE be worth now?

17 THACKERAY DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £406,536.

This is based on house price inflation of 40.2%, between October 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 40.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 THACKERAY DRIVE of £290,000 on 6th October 2017. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £406,536 over the six years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 THACKERAY DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The October 2017 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
